Despite tremendous advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of atherosclerosis, the actual implementation of proven cardiovascular risk management strategies have been difficult.CHD is a preventable disease, yet very effective treatments for the modification of risk factors remain underused. This book aims to provide an easy to read resource on how to implement risk reductions strategies in conjunction with the use of valuable tools such as (PDA) (personal digital assistant) software.There are many worthwhile and well written resource books about the management and treatment of atherosclerotic disease. This book has been written more as a "how to" manual rather than focusing on detailed information
